Great quiet country home

We had three wonderful nights in this spacious cottage just a short walk from Finchingfield. The owners gave great attention to the traveller's needs with lovely welcome necessities. The house was bright and cheery during the day and cool during the nights. The excellent washer and dryer were a great bonus for this family travelling on a two plus week holiday. We loved our country walks and easy walk to town. In addition, just up the road there were two excellent CAMRA pubs. The cottage is in close proximity to Saffron Walden and an easy drive to Cambridge. I would highly recommend this cottage for the travelling family.

A wonderful peaceful spot

Immaculate, warm and welcoming . A beautifully peaceful retreat within easy walking distance of the delightful village of Finchingfield. Careful attention to detail of decor and equipment, and a comprehensive welcome pack. Everything to entice us back again, we hope!

High quality, cosy and beautifully decorated lodge

We spent more than 2 months in the lodge and the stay was wonderful. The house has been restored with excellent taste. Open spaces, full of natural light, exposed wooden beems, decoration in light beige colours, chimeneys, lots of kitchen modern facilities and courtesy food and toiletries provided made our stay incredibly confortable and enjoyable.

Also to remark, the initial and weekly cleaning was superb, as well as the attention of the owners Archie and Anna, and the cleaning ladies. They helped us in everything they could.

The area is amazing with hectareas of fields with walking paths, gardens, lakes. Only 1 mile (lovely walk for a sunny day) to Finchingfield village, one of the most beautiful villages I have ever seen in the UK.

I would definitely like to come back and I'll recomed it to everyone.

Beautiful Property

We stayed at Crest Lodge for Christmas week. We absolutely loved it. The attention to detail was wonderful and the high end products were appreciated. The place is so peaceful and relaxing. The bath is awesome!!! We were pleasantly surprised as to the size of the cottage with ample room for our family to dine and unwind. I would highly recommend a stay at Spain's hall and we look forward to a return visit soon. A big Thank You.
